Chapter 11 - Hannah Sends One Location
Marcus received an email from his missing sister.
No message.
Only coordinates.
Investigators traced them to an abandoned private clinic outside Quebec
City.
The clinic had once belonged to a Cross Meridian subsidiary.
Adrian recognized the name.
Northstar Health Retreat.
Claire stared.
Northstar was not only a shell company.
It had a physical location.
Canadian authorities searched the property.
Hannah was found alive.
Weak.
Frightened.
But alive.
She had been held there for eleven days.
Julian was gone.
So was Evelyn.
Claire’s heart stopped when she heard that.
“Mom was there?”
Hannah said Evelyn had been brought in two days earlier.
Not as a prisoner at first.
She had come voluntarily.
Why?
Because Julian told her he had Claire.
Evelyn walked into the clinic believing her daughter was in danger.
Claire cried when she heard it.
Ten years earlier, Evelyn disappeared to protect her.
Ten years later, she had walked back into danger for the same reason.
Hannah said Evelyn escaped during the police approach.
Nobody knew where she went.
Then Hannah handed investigators a note.
Evelyn had written it on the back of a medication label.
Tell Claire to remember where the silver bracelets came from.
Claire stared at the bracelet.
Her mother had bought the matching pair during one summer trip.
Maine.
A tiny coastal town.
May you like
Camden.
And suddenly Claire knew exactly where Evelyn would go.
